If you wish to start a project uner Python 3, use django-admin3.py.

+

+

$ django-admin3.py startproject myproject

This will create the directory ''myproject'' under the current directory. It will also create the ''manage.py'' script, which has more useful functions for managing and testing your project. For instance, django has a small test server built into ''manage.py''.

"Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design."

Note: Django 1.5 is the first Django release with support for Python 3 (specifically, Python 3.2 and newer). Python 3 support is still considered experimental, but there is a porting guide if you would like to try it out.

Installation

Usage

Django is not used like other python libraries for the most part, but it can be. After installation, you should be able to simply `import django` in any python script.

>>> import django

In order to start a project under Python 2, use django-admin.py.

$ django-admin.py startproject myproject

If you wish to start a project uner Python 3, use django-admin3.py.

$ django-admin3.py startproject myproject

This will create the directory myproject under the current directory. It will also create the manage.py script, which has more useful functions for managing and testing your project. For instance, django has a small test server built into manage.py.

Note: The following commands assume you are running Django under Python 2. If you would like to try Python 3 support, substitute `python` for `python2`.

$ python2 manage.py runserver
Validating models...
0 errors found
Django version 1.1, using settings 'modsite.settings'
Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

First click on the "Project/new."
Then under "Project Type" select Django.
After your new django project has been created, Right-click on the "Project Viewer", to the Left, and select "Configure", and in the configuration window set "Project type" to Django.

After that, in eric4's "Settings/Preferences" select Django, from the left, and add this change to the "Console Command."

If KDE,

konsole --workdir `pwd` -e
konsole --workdir `pwd` --noclose -e

This will solve the problem...

/usr/bin/python2: can't open file 'manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Note the "Django" menu next to "Project" and "Extras". There you will find Django tools to runserver and sync database.

Now, just play around with it a little. All your Python code will be Added to the first tab of the "Project-Viewer" and your html templates will be opened in the second tab.
